What they do

Easebuzz is a full-stack payments solutions provider for small and medium businesses

What happened

It reported Rs 716 Cr revenue and Rs 11 Cr profit for FY26, with profit falling 42% from FY25

Why it matters

The profit decline was largely due to a ban on real-money gaming apps and rising expenses

The details

  • Easebuzz reported Rs 716 Cr revenue from operations for FY26, up 9.1% from Rs 656 Cr in FY25.
  • Its profit fell 42.1% to Rs 11 Cr from Rs 19 Cr in the previous year.
  • EBITDA dropped to Rs 14 Cr from Rs 28 Cr, and EBITDA margin shrank to 1.96% from 4.27%.
  • Return on capital employed (ROCE) fell sharply to 3.52% from 18.25% in FY25.
  • Total expenses rose 11.7% to Rs 708 Cr, driven by higher employee, IT, and advertising costs.
  • Transaction fees made up 97.35% of operating revenue at Rs 697 Cr.
  • The company spent Rs 0.99 to earn every rupee of operating revenue, up from Rs 0.97.
  • Cash and bank balances fell 26.1% to Rs 105 Cr as of March 2026.

The bigger picture

  • The profit decline was largely due to a ban on real-money gaming apps at the start of FY26, which slowed transaction volumes.
  • Employee benefit expenses surged 82.7% to Rs 95 Cr, and IT expenses rose 68.8% to Rs 27 Cr.
  • Advertising and promotional expenses jumped 350% to Rs 9 Cr, adding to cost pressure.
  • Non-current assets other than cash rose 145 times to Rs 198 Cr, possibly indicating investment in technology or infrastructure.
